Correct. In addition, the issue is rewarding a good deed with another. Jon
sent a message indicating a great deal at a great price and for
list users to snap them up ASAP, and if you managed to get an
extra, sell it to him for your cost. You used his information,
procured **5** units, and can not even entertain the idea of
selling **1** of them at your cost and reaping the profits from
the other units? Wow, I am down for profits, but what happened
to good will? I agree, it would have been better to keep your greed
to yourself in this instance, Mr. Markowitz. :) Look at how we all
are jumpin' ya like rabid dogs! WOOF!!!
